York Regional Update???

[philly]

Hi all,
Hopefully the 4WD guys will get this when they get home!
What's the news from York? Looking forward to 2WD tomorrow, hoping it's not as wet as Bradford right now!
Anybody got any track pictures?

rain started @ 15:30 here in Teesside before we got the heats underway but it didn't rain the club night off
only need brollies under the roof were it leaks

oh and the astro full can be a pain to blow off the car with the air comp after a run

Well I have just got back and given my car a quick clean to get the thick of it off. But all i can say is, i have never seen hail stones as big in my life, and it rain so much at the same time. The hail stones were as big as 20 pence coins, but it all had to happen half way through the final i was in, the C - final. It started raining so hard so fast that we were ordered off of the rostrum. I quickly though of going under the rostrum and did so until i saw how close the lightning was getting, then as soon as the rain started to die down me and Martin just plane legged it to the car as fast as we could. I was just unbeleiveable how much of the track was flooded, at least 2-3 inches deep at least.

Thanks to all the York members and helpers who prepared two great tracks. Really enjoyed both days, who says its no fun when its raining!!!

It was worth being there just to see the thunder storm and hail!!

[Col]

were all the finals run?

[notlawnomis]

No, got half way though the C final and was stopped due to the rain and the lightening was to close for comfort with all those antenna's!!!!!

As for points, completed final results were upheld and the rest went off qualifying.
